#5201 29 Mar 2014 Approved Notes: The water was beginning to flow upstream at the Daly Bridge. Underneath the bridge there was a very large school of bait fish (30-40mm) which were being rounded up by a larger variety of fish which were swooping in to catch them. Underneath the bridge large silver brim were grazing off drift wood. Directly under the bridge larger silver brim (30-35cm) were swimming in large groups in the shadows of the bridge poles.
